What would be a good place to start to get rid of this shyness?

Question

It's harsh and it leaves me feeling very insecure. I want to be able to talk to people like a normal person, but I get nervous. =/

Answer 1

we tend to be shy because we don't know what to talk to a stranger.

from my observation, my boss reads the paper every morning and he applied it his daily conversation with others..

when you have a topic to discuss, it'll helps you to feel better..

try not to talk to everybody all at once, practice in smaller scale, so you dun over react if not everybody is paying attention to what you are saying,..

Answer 2

I escaped for my shyness speaking with people on mIRC and applying then what I learn into real life. That's how I met my husband. We start a conversation, then have a lot of dates...and here we are after 5 years.

Answer 3

Well, that was a good start as you just spoke to millions of people on here at once!

Answer 4

Hi Someone,

You are a normal person already, but you have a problem that seems to be interfering terribly with your ability to meet and socialize with other people on equal terms. I can see that you find this to be emotionally painful and demoralizing.

There is a lot of hope for you however. While shyness gives the impression that it is a mountain too high to climb, it is in fact a bad habit that can be shut down by overwhelming it with better habits.

The very first thing I would suggest you do to get your morale back, is to remind yourself that your shyness is not a comment on who you are as a person.  It is simply a problem that can be solved with the right information.

Getting the right information is the hard bit. I know, because I suffered from severe chronic shyness for many years before finding out to get over it. I could write a book about the journey.

There isn't space here for that, but please feel free to email me if you want to.

Best regards,

Sunwheel

Answer 5

we are on the same boat before. however, i tried to get rid of my shyness by being with a friend, then add one more, one more, until finally there are already heaps of them.

find out the reason why are you shy and try to cope out with it. fill your weaknesses with your strong points and soon you'll have enough courage to face them all
